Continuum Isotropic Elastic Model for Sintering of Ceramic Materials

Abstract:

In this work a sintering model that assumes infinitesimal displacements rates has been structured using the continuum theory of sintering develop by Olevsky and Skorokhod [1, 2] and the sintering model develop by Sasan Kiani et al. [3, 4]. The model was used to estimate dimensional change and the density distribution using linear displacement rates (LRDs) as the only input. Furthermore, if the sintering potential and dense material shear viscosity are known, the stress distribution can be approximated. The magnitude of two stress norms (i.e. Von Misses stress and the stress tensor first invariant) determined using experimental and calculated LDRs are compared using three different geometries. From FEM simulation results it was inferred that densification can occur in presence of tension stresses if their magnitude is lower than the calculated sintering potential.
